Customer Reviews of Highlights For Children

Sane
In an age where material for youngsters invariably catapults into the hyperbolic with "xtreme" graphics, slang, and endless nods to cultural trendiness and commercialism it's nice to see that at least one magazine has remained cool, calm, and collected. This is an excellent publication for those households where ADD, Ridilin, and Prozac are not givens (and they do exist). If your kids can actually sit still for a while and find entertainment in things that require thoughtfulness and attention this is recommended. Yeah, it's "old-fashioned" and some youngsters and parents will certainly find it boring, or lacking in flash or "correct" political indoctrination, but please tell me--aside from the computer "literacy" (what an inappropriate word to use there) that'll be a major asset when job hunting time comes around--what benefits have we seen for our children from this current over-hyped, over-stimulating, and over-marketed culture? <

>My recommedation as something of an authority on kids and play is this: get a subscription to this magazine BEFORE you have children, then ask yourself how you can raise youngsters who would appreciate it. <

>Praise to the publisher and editor who decided not to bring in some modern marketing person and trendy art director to "tart-up" the magazine, make it look like every other sucrose-drenched kid's publication. I worked for a huge toy company that went trendy and lost its soul, actually forgot what it did right...and it eventually lost its customers too.

boring and dated
My son, 6 received this magazine as a present. He never showed any interest in the magazine except for one game where he had to look for hidden objects. The stories did not appeal to him. The magazine did not appeal to me either. I found it very dated graphically. I wouldn't recommend it.

Highlights for Children, better than I remember!
I was so excited to find this title on Amazon.com! My kids love this magazine and it's even more fun than when I was little. I still see this in all the doctor offices and now we can have our own copy at home! My children's teachers have recommended this to supplement their reading curriculum. My kids don't sem to notice that they are learning since they are having so much fun. I'll be glad to turn off the TV, the advertisements, and the games each month when my issue arrives. Thanks Highlights!
